STRIKE ENDS QUICKLY: CALHOUN SCHOOLS WILL RE-0PEN WEDNESDAY - Regular Schedule

(03/06/2018)
Calhoun Schools will re-open Wednesday with the same regular schedule, following the resolution of a state-wide teacher's strike.

West Virginia lawmakers acted swiftly Tuesday after Governor Jim Justice and Republican leaders tentatively agreed to end the state's nine-day teachers' walkout by giving 5 percent raises not just to teachers, but to all state workers.

With striking teachers cheering from the gallery, the House of Delegates subsequently passed the pay raise for teachers, school service personnel and state troopers on a 99-0 vote. The Senate followed, voting 34-0.

All ends in one day, with Gov. Justice signing the bill.
